In this episode of The Disappointing Friend, we’re wading into murky waters of toxic friendships.

Fatuma opens up about the shift from being the world’s most enthusiastic gift-giver to someone who’s had to literally hide in bathroom stalls to avoid toxic energy. Meanwhile, Juliet shares her own run-ins with passive-aggressive “friends” and the emotional aftermath of being the target of hazing.

Together, we unpack the subtle (and not-so-subtle) red flags, from backhanded compliments to full-blown social sabotage. Is someone actually your friend, or are they just sticking around to cut you down?

Whether you’ve been the toxic one, suffered through a “frenemy,” or just want to curate a friendship circle with good intention only, this one’s for you.
